High Sobriety: My Year Without Booze by Jill Stark

5.0

I was telling someone about my break from booze when they recommended this book - so I picked it up ready to empathise. It really resonated with a lot of my newly-sober experiences - how friends react, how you feel separate from the fun, and the realisations that it's still completely possible to dance like a fool when you're stone-cold sober.

The author splits each chapter (a month of the year) into a theme as well as covering her experience; looking at Australia's sports, history, dating... a lot of fascinating takeaways and some concerning facts.

Very easy to read, thoroughly recommended.
